Primates are smart, flexible, and adaptive creatures. How have they responded to changes in climate over millions of years? Climate is the major factor that determines where a species can and ...
A new study suggests that gut microbes played a key role in the evolution of larger brains in primates by influencing energy ...
Cross-linguistic studies have revealed similar biases when people view images of events. In tasks where people have to ...
Take a closer look at your hands—they carry millions of years of evolutionary history, connecting you to our closest primate ...
Chimpanzees use tools in sequences, planning and adapting actions like humans. This suggests the roots of complex human ...
Microbes supporting the production of more metabolic energy could be key to the evolution of large brains. Microbes that ...
Gut microbiota from primates with larger brains promotes glucose production and energy allocation for brain function, ...
Researchers show gut microbes may have fueled brain evolution by optimizing energy use. Experiments revealed that microbes in ...
particularly the evolution of our large brains. The findings will be published in the journal Microbial Genomics on Dec. 2 at 10 p.m. CST. Prior studies have compared the influence of genes and the ...
